Robert, I guess I should have discussed wiring the houses together as well. I definitely agree that the best way would be to install underground conduit during initial construction, particularly if the path of the conduit would go under sidewalks, the pedway, etc. I am not familiar enough with the different building codes around the country to know the specifications that would be required for the conduit in any one area. For that, you should probably check with your builder, architect, or electrical contractor. Here in Lansing, Michigan, I believe electrical conduit only needs to be between 12 and 18 inches deep in the ground when not under a roadway. So it is possible to install wiring between homes, or between each home and the common house, after initial construction. Again, it would probably just require more labor and time than if it had been planned for and installed from the start. There are various methods available for running conduit under an existing sidewalk or walkway; the method used would depend on the width of the walk and other factors in the walk's construction.

Let's also NOT forget to have a conduit underneath the pedway BEFORE it is paved over. ============================================ Robert Heinich Eno Commons Cohousing Neighborhood 9 Indigo Creek Trail / Durham, NC 27712-2564 (e) robert_heinich [at] juno.com
